Dine inside Central Park's most storied and enchanting landmark! Built in 1870 by Calvert Vaux and serving guests since 1934, Tavern on the Green offers the ultimate storybook NYC Thanksgiving dinner. Located directly across from Sheep Meadow and steps from Central Park West, the dining rooms are aglow with twinkling chandeliers, towering holiday greenery, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows framing park views.

Executive Chef Bill Peet crafts an exquisite four-course Thanksgiving prix fixe feast. Guests savor artisanal autumn squash soups, heritage turkey with chestnut and sage stuffing, rich giblet gravy, cranberry compote, roasted autumn root vegetables, prime rib, and decadent dessert spreads featuring spiced pumpkin pie and warm chocolate cakes. Children enjoy customized kid-friendly holiday offerings designed specifically for younger palates.

Family Tips: The restaurant is fully ADA-accessible with spacious aisles accommodating strollers, comfortable booth seating, and clean changing facilities. Reservations open 30 to 60 days in advance via OpenTable/SevenRooms and book up quickly.
